WTa The Village Garden.

FNillagers can now begin to realize the
value of good vegetable garden, and to
| what a large degree its products contribute
to good living. Indeed where an extra
early start was given to a few seeds under
glass early in the spring, they have been
realizing it tor some weeks past. But
now larger variety of vegetables begin
to mature, and the dinner table is well
supplied. A vegetable diet during these
hot days is far more healthy than one into
which meat largely enters. and besides
the point of healhfulness there is that
other oneiof economy. for unless person
has actually tried it. he does not know
how the garden reduces the grocer's bills
during these warm months when we want
a lew dollars extra fer little outing at
the lake, or an excursion to the islands or
the sea-shore. For several weeks we have
had peas from the garden. and now are
having potatoes, string beans. cucumbers
and early beets. which latter are good
tonic when made into mild pickle. Then
before we had peas. we had lettuce in
abundance, and during the time we
had peas we also had strawberries.
and are now having raspberries. Later
on will come peas from the second plant
ing, sweet corn. horticultural beans.
squash and fall spinach Now how nice
it is Tor the villager who has a few square
| rods OF land to have garden comprising
all the above vegetables, and even more
and what source of JOY and good health
It becomes. 1t is more than half the living
of the family tor three or four months OF
the year, and dollar or two paid out tor
fertilizers is all the actual outlay, for the
work of planting and taking care of the
garden can be done at the hours. morning
and night. before and after work at the
shop or office, and you not be any the
worse for it. but rather the better. Plan
for the family garden all We city and vii

possess few rods OF mother earth which
can be used for such q purpose. /; holds

soil, If you will only dig for them.

of our hens got out from the yard and ran

Farm improvements.

I'm our somewhat short seasons the time
for doing what are called farm improve
nents is. as the phrase of the hour has it,
'.ius. a little bit" Before spring work,
tina, of preparing the ground and seeding.
there is surely no opportunity tor outside
jobs. Then between planting and hoeing,
hoeing and having. or the in-times fol
lowing the completion Of the early and the
beginning OF the later harvest, the
intervals are so brief that they only serve
as breathing SPELLS between the actual
work Of the farm which must be done
/ 10 say nothing OF the common routine
called improvements. And yet there is
not spirited, progressive farmer any
where who is content with things just as
they are. He will want to make changes
and improvements in fields, buildings or
fences.
There il always something to be
done. For when you find a farmer who is
satisfied with his surroundings. you either
find millionaire or a shiitless, don't care
man. We speak now Of the average far
mers when We say they generally find
little time tor improvements, or as another
term Is, "betterments." The farmer who
can afford to hire an extra crew of men to
repair his barns, do job OF dtching,
| build half mile of fence or clear up a
''chopping'' is all right anyway. He can
hire his men. and when they get through
pay them off and discharge them. But
our average Maine farmers cannot do just
this much as they would like TO. What is
done by them in the shape of farm improve
ments has to be done, as we say, within
themselves, that is. with their own crews
and resources. And yet there are scores
and scores of farmers who, in the run of a
year. accomplish a great deal upon their
farms and buildings outside of the regular
farm work. These are the busy, plodding.
planning industrial farmers They are
never idle, and do no farming down at the
corner store or blacksmith shop. But
they plan for a day or two here, and
another week or two later in the season
which may both be given to some one job
of improvement, and before the outdoor
| season closes II is all finished up.
Such are repairs upon dwellings. drain
ing, wall or fence building. clearing up a
a burnt piece, getting the large bowl,
ders of from certain field, digging
well or introducing water from spring
into the buildings. building a culvert over
the brook in the farm road out in the
back field, or other Jobs of like nature
The period after the grain harvest and be
fore the regular fall work comes on, is a
good opportunity tor these Improvements;
and the industrious farmer who loves his
business and his home, can make a won
deriul change Tor the better in his build
ings and surroundings by wisely planning
and couIageously performing some Of
these tasks, even in the short space of a
single season.
